Priligy

Priligy is a branded version of the drug dapoxetine. This prescription medication is used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men.

Premature ejaculation is a condition where men ejaculate with minimal sexual stimulation. This impacts sexual satisfaction and may cause problems in romantic and sexual relationships.

Priligy helps by extending the time taken to ejaculate and enhancing control over ejaculation.

Like other SSRIs, Dapoxetine was originally created to be used as an antidepressant by pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. However, it was approved instead as a treatment for premature ejaculation in 2004.

This is because of its rapid absorption and elimination in the body, which makes it a suitable medication to treat PE. Priligy received regulatory approval from the UK's MHRA in 2013.

Priligy contains the active ingredient dapoxetine. It belongs to a group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are more commonly used to treat depression.

Priligy works by Increasing serotonin levels in the body. This causes a delay in the area of the brain responsible for ejaculation, thereby helping men to last longer during sexual activity

Priligy offers several benefits for managing ejaculation:

• Fulfilling sexual activity: Priligy increases the time it takes to ejaculate, which can lead to a more fulfilling sex life.
• Improved control: Priligy improves your control over ejaculation. This makes you more confident and more likely to enjoy yourself during sexual activity.
• Improved satisfaction levels: By managing premature ejaculation, Priligy can make sexual activity more satisfying and pleasurable to both you and your partner.
• Quick and convenient results: Priligy starts working within 1 to 3 hours. This makes it an effective, flexible, and convenient treatment for premature ejaculation.

Priligy has been proven in clinical trials to be a safe and effective treatment for premature ejaculation. For those suffering from PE, Priligy is a tried and tested option.

A clinical trial involving 618 men found Dapoxetine to be far more effective than a placebo in treating premature ejaculation.

According to the results, the mean average time it took for the men to ejaculate was 56 seconds before treatment. This number increased to 1.9 minutes for those on a placebo, 3.2 minutes for those on 30mg of dapoxetine, and 3.5 minutes for those on 60mg.

The effect that dapoxetine had on men suffering from premature ejaculation has been further studied in another clinical trial. The results of the study are as follows:

Doctors can prescribe Priligy for men aged 18 to 65 suffering from premature ejaculation.

To be eligible for Priligy, you must experience all of the following:

• Ejaculation timing: Ejaculating in less than 2 minutes of vaginal penetration.
• Frequency: Repeated or frequent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation. This happens either before, during, or soon after penetration.
• Distress: Personal distress due to premature ejaculation.
• Control: Poor ejaculation control.
• Consistency: Experiencing PE during most sexual intercourse attempts over the past six months.

Who should not take it?

While most people can tolerate Priligy well, it is not suitable for everyone. Do not take this medication if you have a history of:

• Heart problems: Conditions such as heart failure or stroke.
• Bleeding disorders: Problems with bleeding or blood clotting.
• Fainting: A history of fainting (syncope).
• Mental health conditions: Conditions like mania, depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

It's crucial to discuss your medical history with your doctor before starting Priligy. This will help you know if Priligy consumption is safe and suitable for you.

Allergic reaction

If you have had an allergic reaction to dapoxetine or any of the other ingredients in Priligy, you should not take this medicine and consult a doctor for alternative treatment.

Symptoms of an allergic reaction include:

• Skin rash
• Itching
• Hives
• Swelling of the face, throat or lips
• Wheezing, or difficulty breathing

If you experience an allergic reaction when taking any medicine, stop your treatment and seek emergency medical help.

What doses are available for Priligy?

Priligy comes in two doses: 30mg and 60mg tablets. For first-time users, doctors recommend an usual dose of 30mg. If the 30mg dose doesn't work, the doctor may increase dosage to 60mg.

It is important to only take Priligy as your doctor has prescribed. If you believe your dose to be too low, then consult your doctor and they may raise your dose, but only if it is safe to do so.

When do I take Priligy?

• Before sexual activity: Take one tablet 1 to 3 hours before you plan to engage in sexual activity.
• As needed: Take Priligy only as needed rather than daily.
• Follow doctor’s advice: Follow your doctor’s advice before taking Priligy.

How do I take Priligy tablets?

To take Priligy the right way, follow these instructions:

• Dosage: Take one Priligy 30mg or 60mg tablet 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with one full glass of water to avoid a bitter taste.
• With or without food: You can take this medicine with or without food.
• Frequency: Do not take this medicine more than once in a 24-hour time frame.

How to take Priligy
	Take 1 tablet 1-3 hours before sexual activity

	It can be taken with or without food
	Do not take it more than once every 24 hours

Priligy is rapidly absorbed into the body and so works very quickly:

• Initial effects: You may see an improvement in ejaculation control within 1 to 3 hours.
• Duration of effect: The effect of Priligy on ejaculation control usually lasts for 4 to 6 hours.

This is the usual effect of Priligy, however, results may vary from person to person. In some people, effects have even been found to last for up to 12 hours after ingestion.

While taking Priligy, there are some lifestyle changes you can make to maximise effectiveness:

• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as dehydration can worsen side effects like dizziness and headaches.
• Maintain a balanced diet to support overall health and boost confidence and sexual performance.
• Engage in regular physical activity. Studies show that regular exercise can improve sexual performance, even if it isn’t intense.
• Stress and anxiety have been linked to an increase in sexual problems. Finding ways to manage stress can, therefore, improve sexual performance.
• Ensure you get enough sleep each night. Poor sleep quality has been associated with increased incidences of premature ejaculation.
• Avoid non-medical drugs, as they can interfere with Priligy’s effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.
• Communicate openly with your partner to reduce anxiety about premature ejaculation and find ways to manage it together.
• Visit your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and ensure that Priligy is working effectively. Your doctor can also provide personalised advice.

These practical tips can help you use Priligy effectively and improve your overall health and well-being.

It is recommended that patients stay well-hydrated before taking Priligy. Patients should also get at least 8 hours of sleep and avoid recreational drugs while using Priligy, as these factors can affect the medicine's effectiveness.

Non-drug alternatives

• Masturbation before sex: Masturbating 1 to 2 hours before sex.
• Squeeze method: Squeezing the end of the penis until the urge to ejaculate passes.
• Stop-Start method: this method involves taking short breaks during sexual activity so you can avoid premature ejaculation.
